'Size' column needs clear space to the right of the value

Almost everything else seems to be customizable, but I can't find a way of doing this. When the right-justified 'Size' column is followed by a left-justified column (e.g. 'Modified'), it all runs together. Is there a way of avoiding this? Maybe have the ability to create a 'null' column?
And as it's been quite a while since I had a whinge about anything, is there a way of cleaning-up the presentation of the date and time parts of the 'Created' and 'Modified' columns, so that they are properly separated/justified?
I fully expect to be told 'Oh, yes, just do this ....'

I'm not sure I can help you in regards to the size column issue. But I can help you with the date and time issue.
Here's what I do:
1. Open XY's config file (Tools \ Open Configuration File).
2. Close XY. If your text editor says the file has changed and asks if you want to update, say Yes.
3.
Code: Select all
Under "[ListDateFormats]", change custom format 3 to "yyyy-mm-dd ".
Under "[ListTimeFormats]", change format 4 to "hh:nn:ss AM/PM".
Note: I changed these formats because I never use them. Alternately, you can rewrite any formats you want.
4. Save the INI file and start XY. Change both the date and time format to the ones you just added.
5. Enjoy the newly justified look.

I really vaguely recall some discussion about this recently but not taking the time now to find it...but I'd suggest as interim workaround to use a different column order if that's possible? It may not be what you really want but in many cases, reversing the order of two columns may not be all that bad as temp fix.

Thanks for the replies, I'll investigate Mesh's idea. In the meantime, I got around it by inserting the 'Comment' column between the 'Size' and 'Modified' columns. As I never use the 'Comment's, I can shrink it down until only the 'C' shows in the heading, and I have the nice gap that I was looking for.
